Scores are available approximately four weeks after the submission deadline. After you receive your scores, there is a short resubmission window. If your assessment score falls below the passing score for the assessment, you are eligible to resubmit any or all three tasks for a fee. Only one resubmission per task is permitted during the resubmission window. If you achieve a passing score, you are not eligible to resubmit any tasks.

Improve Your Responses

Read and respond to the questions accurately. Be sure to dissect the parts of the question and analyze what each part is asking you to do. If the question asks you to describe or discuss, keep those requirements in mind when composing your response — do not just provide a list or a general response. Work to respond insightfully and thoroughly focus on the key aspects of the guiding prompt. If the guiding prompt asks for examples, be sure to keep this requirement in mind while composing your response. Keep in mind, the examples may come from the required artifacts. Review the "Writing and Formatting Guidelines" in the PASL Candidate and Educator Handbook.

Answer everything that is asked in the question. This seems simple, but many test takers fail to provide a complete response. Be sure to carefully review the task requirements and each guiding prompt to ensure you are addressing everything that is asked in the question. Providing the required response with adequate detail to describe each step you have taken allows you to submit more evidence that could result in a stronger score.

Provide all required artifacts. Raters review all artifacts that are linked to the textboxes to determine whether they meet the requirement and how well they support the written commentary. Be sure to select artifacts that can provide a significant connection to your written commentary. Not submitting the appropriate artifact will impact your score. Review the “Thinking About Evidence” pages in the PASL Candidate and Educator Handbook, for specific information on the required artifacts for each task.

Give a thorough and detailed response. Your response must clearly demonstrate to the raters that you have a thorough understanding of each guiding prompt. Be sure to clearly explain key thoughts and ideas. Each response is reviewed for both completeness and the quality of the response. Review the analytical portion of the rubric for each task and compare the written commentary to each bullet within the rubric and determine whether you have provided the evidence described.

Register for Resubmission

Resubmission must occur in the resubmission window immediately following your original submission.

Register for the resubmission window through your ETS® Performance Assessment online account by selecting the "Resubmit" link for this assessment on your "View All My Tests" page.

Submitting the Revised Tasks

The resubmission task(s) are completely separate responses from what was originally submitted. When scoring your resubmitted tasks, raters do not have access to your original submission. During resubmission, you will begin with blank textboxes, making sure to:

enter and submit the entire task response as if you are submitting the task for the first time

enter the written commentary in all textboxes

link the artifacts to the written commentary where required

upload permission forms

upload the video, if resubmitting Task 3

respond to the prompts and activities for all steps, not just the steps where you scored low

Final Assessment Scores

Once your resubmitted tasks are scored, the task with the highest total task score, whether from the original submission or from the resubmission, becomes part of your final score for the assessment.
